Byenveni nan Sylvan Wald House, yon kay ki fèt dènye kri ki enspire pa mitan syèk la, ki chita nan fen yon long chemen prive sou 17+ akr bwa nan nò Catskills. Achitèk Garrison, biwo ki dèyè otèl ki fè bri a Piaule, sa a kay kontemporen izole ak efikasite enèji te kreye avèk prensip konstriksyon kay pasif ki dirab. Rezidans lan ki gen 3,115 pye kare gen yon suite prensipal nan premye etaj la, travay bwa chène blan nan tout kay la, ak yon miray gwo fenèt ki gen vi ki chanje ak chak sezon. Pano pye bwa pin ki tache ak planche sèd konplete prezans modèn, trankil kay la, ki sanble ap flote sou tè a.

Andedan, yon sal sab avèk yon miray ranpli ak bibliyotèk louvri sou yon nivo prensipal avèk planche chène blan ki plen ak limyè natirèl. Dekorasyon ak estil pa Hallie Goodman, travay li te parèt nan Architectural Digest, pote yon sansibilite chik, minimalist nan kay la. Kwizin lan gen aparèy designer Bertazzoni, kabinè chène ki fèt sou demande, kontwa savon ak yon zile dlo. Yon limyè syèl ak detay plafon chène blan ajoute chalè ak atire je a anlè nan espas ki byen eklere ak solèy. Zòn vivan ak manje a santre alantou yon foura bwa Morso nan estil Norvèj ak yon miray gwo fenèt ki kadre peyaj forè ki chanje. Yon teras sèd plase pou pran anviwonman Catskill yo.

Chak chanm gen gwo bibliyotèk ki fèt espesyalman pou anpil depo. Suite prensipal la nan premye etaj la ofri yon teras prive ak yon twalèt ki sanble ak yon spa ki gen marb karera, fixtures Hansgrohe ak Duravit, ak planche porcelaine fini ardoiz chofe ak radyan. De lòt chanm pataje nivo prensipal la ansanm ak yon dezyèm twalèt konplè ak yon sal laver. Nivo ki fini anba a ofri espas fleksib ak planche siman polishe, yon ba mouye, yon twalèt konplè twazyèm, ak de pòt an vè glisan ki louvri nan jaden ki pant; ideyal pou yon sal medya, estidyo, jimnaz kay, oswa katye envite.

Dehors, prè prè ak tè bwa etann atravè peyaj Catskill la. Enfrastrikti kay la gen yon ponp chalè pou chofe dlo, HVAC santral, chalè radyan nan twalèt anwo yo, ekleraj entelijan Lutron Caseta, fenèt triple-pane, doub low-E, ak conduit ki deja enstale pou yon entegre pòtatif panèl solè nan lavni. Lokasyon an balanse ant vi prive riral avèk yon atmosfè rivertown istorik ak opsyon sèvis. Vil Catskill chita sèlman kèk minit lwen, lakay Foreland arts campus, Subversive Brewing, Left Bank Ciders, Hemlock Tavern, ak Tiyatè Kominotè ki fèk renove a. Restoran, galri, ak ofrann kiltirèl Hudson yo se 15 minit lwen, ak ski nan Hunter ak Windham Mountains se 30 minit nan nò, sa ki fè sa a yon retrè ideyal pou tout ane a oswa yon evakasyon wikenn soti nan vil la.

Welcome to Sylvan Wald House, a newly built midcentury-inspired home set at the end of a long private driveway on 17+ wooded acres in the northern Catskills. Architecture by Garrison Architects, the studio behind the celebrated Piaule resort, this secluded, energy-efficient contemporary home was created using sustainable, passive house building principles. The 3,115-square-foot residence includes a first-floor primary suite, white oak millwork throughout, and a wall of large picture windows with views that shift with each season. Stained pine siding and cedar decking complete the home's quiet, modern presence, appearing almost to float above the landscape.

Inside, a mudroom with a wall of built-ins opens to a main level with white oak floors that’s flooded with natural light. Staging and styling by Hallie Goodman, whose work has been featured in Architectural Digest, brings a chic, minimalist sensibility to the home. The kitchen includes designer Bertazzoni appliances, custom oak cabinetry, soapstone counters and a waterfall island. A skylight and white oak ceiling detail add warmth and draws the eye upward through the sunlit space. The living and dining area center around a Norwegian-style Morso wood stove and a wall of oversized windows that frame the changing forest landscape. A cedar deck is positioned to take in sweeping Catskill views.

Every room includes sleek, custom built-ins for plenty of storage. The first-floor primary suite offers a private deck and a spa-like bathroom with Carrera marble, Hansgrohe and Duravit fixtures, and radiant heated slate-finish porcelain tile floors. Two additional bedrooms share the main level along with a second full bathroom and a laundry room. The finished lower level offers flexible space with polished cement floors, a wet bar, a third full bathroom, and two sliding glass doors opening to the sloping yard; ideal for a media room, studio, home gym, or guest quarters.
Outside, open meadows and wooded terrain stretch across the Catskill landscape. The home's infrastructure includes a heat pump hot water heater, central HVAC, radiant heat in upstairs bathrooms, Lutron Caseta smart lighting, triple-pane, double low-E windows, and conduit pre-installed for potential future solar panel integration. The location balances rural privacy with a historic rivertown atmosphere and amenities. The Village of Catskill sits minutes away, home to Foreland arts campus, Subversive Brewing, Left Bank Ciders, Hemlock Tavern, and the newly restored Community Theater. Hudson's restaurants, galleries, and cultural offerings are 15 minutes away, and skiing at Hunter and Windham Mountains is 30 minutes north, making this an ideal year-round retreat or weekend escape from the city. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
